Thalia Pregnant Hola! Cover

I know that Thalia has millions of Filipino fans, so I just wanted to notify you all of the great news that while we're all watching the reincarnation of Marimar on Philippine TV, 35-year-old Thalia has her own rebirth coming in the form of her first baby which she'll be giving birth to very soon. The father is of course her husband, Sony Music exec Tommy Mottola.

Thalía had a virtual baby shower yesterday with her fans, but the gifts weren’t for the daughter she’s expecting. The Mexican singer instead asked the online attendants to donate to a noble cause.

As a spokesperson for the March of Dimes foundation, organization whose mission is to prevent birth defects, preterm labor and infant mortality, she requested that all of her admirers donate to this honorable cause. “Nine months of a healthy pregnancy is the best gift you can give your future baby. In giving to the March of Dimes, my fans can help support vital research and programs to help babies and their families,” the artist expressed.

Thalia joined the organization in 2005 with the hopes of educating women about how to maintain a healthy pregnancy and avoid premature births. As part of the campaign I Want My 9 Months, the vocalist encourages women to take action pre-pregnancy by speaking to a doctor about the risks of preterm labor.

The March of Dimes foundation will use donations collected at the virtual baby shower to fund education programs, research, community service and advocacy.
